Veterinary Position
Veterinary associations such as the American Veterinary Medical Association, British Veterinary Association and Canadian Veterinary Medical Association have warned of the animal and public health risk that could arise from feeding raw meat to pets and have stated that there is no scientific evidence to support the claimed benefits of raw feeding.
In 2007, The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the RSPCA Austraia President Dr Hugh Wirth has stated that veterinary associations in Britain in Australia make a "compromise" and advocate some feeding of raw bones to dogs. This contradicts the contemporaneous warnings put out by the BVA against feeding pets raw bones.

Famous quotes containing the word position:
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
